Some veterans’ widows receiving dependency and indemnity compensation may be entitled to receive higher payments as the result of a recently enacted law, the Veterans Administration said.
The amount of dependency and indemnity compensation is now based in part on the rank of thdeceased veteran at the time of his separation from service.
The new law, known as- Public Law 86-492, allow’s the widow to receive payments based on higher rank, provided the veteran satisfactorily held the higher rank for at least six months and was holding it within 120 dftys of the date of his death or separation from the service.
The VA lacks the necessary information to identify these eligible widows. Widows whose husbands ar one time held a rank higher than their rank at separation, under the above conditions, should contact the nearest VA office.
